Puppet RFC Repository

---------------------

This repository contains Puppet RFCs, which are "Requests For Comments" in the tradition of the IETF

RFC process. They are proposals to enhance / add features to Puppet or something in the Puppet

ecosystem. This is a community-focused process intended to improve openness and transparency in both

Puppet Labs-funded and contributor efforts. For details, please read [PRFC-0](prfc-0.prfc/index.md),

which describes the rationale and process.

Historical note

---------------

From their introduction in 2013 until a renaming/reboot in mid-2015, the process and artifacts were

called "Armatures", abbreviated to "ARMs". While the git repository and all current documentation

are updated, it's possible you will see references to the old name in immutable artifacts like

mailing list threads, bug tracker tickets, etc.
